I know my MLS is on borrowed time,but it's put up a great fight,and as for the Flames out from under my truck,which I have lots of witnesses,I think alot of it's due to the fact the cam in these CR are Extremely retarded!!!!

WhiteSport600,
Diesels do have vacuum. The cylinder pressures are also much higher running nitrous, thus the need for o-ringed head. Some of the guys running the MLS gasket are having better luck with headgasket integrity but they still are failing. Using o-rings/firerings and studs are really necessary for guys who want reliability. If someone doesn't care whenwhere their headgasket lets go then I say go ahead and run nitrous without the headwork. But, if you want to drive to and from the track/dyno without the probability of failure then I would recommend making the proper mods.
My first time I played with nitrous in early 2000 I was able to make 5 dyno runs before the headgasket went. Once it was o-ringed I was able to push the motor over 760 RWHP and I drove it all over the country to race. In 2003 I installed nitrous on a 2001.5 truck and made over 900 uncorrected RWHP, but even with studs and an o-ringed head I blew the headgasket! Yes these trucks were extreme but I have seen a headgasket blow with a resonable boost level, wastegated and a really small shot, you just never know.

If you don't belive in backfires go over to the TDR and find HOSS's post on needing a new exhaust system and some body work done to his truck. His stacks are now orbiting the planet.....
There are probably posts on NWBombers about this too. Heck there might be a post on here about it, but I have not looked.
